In Kenosha, Wisconsin, a dog named Bella is winning hearts with her rare story. Bella isn’t just any dog—she was born with five legs, something very unusual and special. She’s really one of a kind.

Bella was given to the Wisconsin Humane Society, where the vets quickly noticed something different about her. They saw her extra leg and did some X-rays to understand more. What they found was astonishing and something they had never seen before in their 145-year history. Bella had a whole extra set of leg bones.

This genetic anomaly is rare,,’ is seldom seen in canines. Typically found in cattle, this phenomenon “dimilia” has only one or two other documented instances in dogs, according to the existing veterinary literature. 

A closer look at her back paws shows two legs bones fused together. Bella’s extra leg, complete with an additional femur, tibia, fibula, and four extra toes, does not hinder her. She walks and runs just fine, a testament to her resilience and the care she receives.

Bella’s extra leg makes her look unique, but it’s her sweet nature that truly makes her special. Angela Speed, from the Humane Society, calls Bella a “unicorn of a dog.” Her condition might be rare, but it’s her loving personality that truly stands out.

Soon, Bella will be up for adoption at the Humane Society’s branch in Kenosha. The people there hope that Bella’s story will bring more attention to other dogs who need homes. They think Bella can help show how special all dogs are, no matter how they look.
